Officials from the Senegalese Football Federation have reportedly faced visa denials from the United States Embassy in Dakar, affecting their plans just months before the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Among the six officials affected is one of the federation’s vice presidents, who were set to travel for tournament-related duties.
Sources indicate that the visa requests were denied unexpectedly, leaving the Senegalese Football Federation without an official comment regarding the implications of these denials on their logistics and overall preparation for the event.
Senegal has been drawn into Group I for the World Cup, where they will compete against France, Iraq, and Norway, increasing the urgency of resolving their travel issues.
